"Thomas Seeley has spent his career unraveling the mysteries of honey bee behavior. His goal has been to understand how the 30,000 or so bees in a colony work together as a unit to accomplish such things as finding and occupying a snug nest cavity, furnishing it with beeswax combs, filling these combs with brood and food, and keeping themselves well nourished, comfortably warm, and safe from intruders. In this book, Seeley's goal is to illuminate these and other mysteries about the workings of honey bee colonies and explore how those mysteries were solved. Seeley's aim, as he says, is to review how and what he and his colleagues have learned about honey bees and to share some things that are not in the scientific papers: the personal experiences that drew him to these studies, the little observations that led to important insights, and the feelings of delight that came with solving each mystery. The book's thirty chapters are roughly chronological, offering a meta-history of the field alongside explication of various studies. Each chapter is structured approximately the same way: first, Seeley describes how he and his colleagues discovered a specific mystery about how a colony works, then how they solved it, and finally each closes with an explanation of the implications of the mystery and the way it fits into the wider field of honey bee research. Intimate and informative, PIPING HOT BEES AND BOISTEROUS BUZZ-RUNNERS will weave together personal narrative with the results of over 50 years of research into honey bees and honey bee colonies. It will offer context for more current research and introduce readers to the deep workings of honey bee behavior"--
A revolutionary new look into everything "Boston Terrier"; a MUST-READ that includes practical tips, tricks, and insights to help a new (or seasoned) Boston Terrier owner.Using interviews with 4 top Boston Terrier breeders, best-selling author Vanessa Richie has created an in-depth look at what it REALLY takes to successfully live with, raise, and train a Boston Terrier.Covering all the Boston Terrier-specific topics you NEED TO KNOW, such as:The unique characteristics and quirks of the Boston Terrier breedEarly training (including housebreaking) strategies for Boston TerriersChoosing the proper supplies and food for a Boston Terrier puppyHelpful strategies for socializing a Boston Terrier with other dogsHealth care advice for each stage of your Boston Terriers lifeGrooming tips that a Boston Terrier owner needs to know!Known as the American gentleman, the Boston Terrier always appears to be ready for sophisticated fun. But owning one can come with its own set of unique challenges for an owner who is unprepared for the quirks and personality of this loveable, but often mischievous breed.Be prepared to take on the challenges of owning a Boston Terrier by learning about:Picking the right Boston Terrier for your family and homePreparing to bring your BT homeBoston Terrier health and wellnessIntegrating your new BT with your current petsHousetrainingBoston Terrier socializationTrainingNutritionGroomingGenetic health concerns common to Boston TerriersCaring for an aging Boston TerrierGenerally considered a fantastic dog for first time dog families, the Boston Terrier has an incredibly friendly personality that makes him a great addition to any home. Socialization is fairly easy because the breed is naturally friendly. Training may be a bit more difficult, particularly housetraining, so do be prepared to put in a lot of extra patience and some extra time to get your puppy to the point where accidents become a thing of the past.They adore their people, though some are prone to choosing one favorite person, and it will be obvious as they will become like a shadow to their favorite person. This is also a breed that has a wide range of personalities, with some being bouncy and fun, while others are more dignified and mellow. What most of them have in common though is how much they enjoy spending time with the people in their lives. They are also easy to integrate into a home with other dogs, and even cats - as long as the cat doesn't totally object to your new dog.The biggest drawback to the breed is their numerous genetic health issues. Part of the issues stem from the fact that the Boston Terrier has a short nose, which increases the number of issues with their large eyes and hampers their ability to breath as easily as dogs with longer snouts. They are also prone to bother allergies and stomach sensitivities, so you will need to be careful about what you feed your dog and how much the environment affects your pup. Most of the ailments are not life-threatening - they have a life expectancy between 13 and 15 years. They are also incredibly easy to groom with their short-haired coats.If you are considering bringing a Boston Terrier into your home (or already have!) then you need to read this book as soon as possible!
"The beauty of the apex predator captured up close and unflinchingly. A global shift from fright to endearment is happening, and the world is falling in love with sharks as risk of their endangerment increases. Mike Coots, who was nearly killed by a tiger shark as a teenager and has since dedicated his life to capturing and sharing sharks' beauty and indispensable role in a healthy ocean, gets up close and very personal with the magnificent creatures, presenting his unique perspective through portraits exposing both their brawn and their brains. Traveling the world (Hawaii, Mexico, New Zealand, Bahamas, and Maldives), free diving and scuba diving, often with no cage, Coots has recorded Tigers, Great Hammerheads, rare Oceanic White Tips, Lemons, Silvertips, Caribbean Reef Sharks, and massive Great Whites, as big as fourteen feet in length. Big, bold, and beautiful, extraordinary portraits of some of the ocean's largest sharks present a fresh photographic narrative of what it's like being apex. Coots anthropomorphizes the giant fish, with amazingly detailed and unexpectedly intimate images, filled with the stunning character of each species revealed marvelously."--
